So, I kind of have to call out the skirts for the school uniforms in the Wapsiverse. Spent a LOT of time being moved around the country as a military brat and every school I’ve ever gone to has a similar if not the exact same rule for shorts/skirt length. Below the tips of your fingers is the minimum height. I have yet to see a school that would allow those skirts.

You *do* realize the girls hike ‘me up and roll the waistbands under whenever the teachers aren’t being pedantic about it, right? They also make allowances for some kids growing out of their clothes.

Put both of my kids through single-sex Catholic schools, so I kinda know what I’m talking about, here… Including cutting my son’s hair at 9pm at night because the principal is threatening to shave ‘im if he didn’t get it cut by the next day…

I’m against school uniforms. At a time when kids are just figuring out how they want to dress—something that’ll carry over into adulthood—the powers-that-be want to shove them into conformity and, ahem, uniformity.

Actually, he’s kinda got that rock-star-posing vibe, from his turned-up collar to his patent-leather shoes. I was thinking David Byrne (not the Big Suit version), but I can’t trace a photo. Anybody more hip than me got any ideas?
